JOSEPH PHELPS INSIGNIA 1997 (1)
Napa Valley.
u. bn.
An inky/plum/purple color is accompanied by a stunning bouquet of violets, charcoal, creme de cassis and a hint of toast. Prodigious when it hits the palate with a full-bodied expansiveness, there is not a hard edge to be found in the 1997, only velvety tannins, compelling depth and fruit intensity, and stunning purity. It is a perfect expression of Napa viticulture and wine that should continue to age effortlessly for two decades or more. November 2013 Drink: 2013-2033 WA 100
PENFOLDS GRANGE 1990 (1)
South Australia.
u. bn. wrinkled & scuffed label
It is certainly outstanding, displaying full body along with a classic smoky, blackberry, cassis, pepper, and forest floor-scented bouquet. Of all these wines, it appears to be the most evolved. June 2009 WA 94+
